Step 1
Hold the lime in one hand and roll it firmly on the countertop, pressing hard, until it feels slightly soft. This releases the juice inside.
Step 2
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze one half over a small bowl, using your fingers to catch any seeds that fall; you should have about 2 tablespoons of juice.
Step 3
Place the drained chickpeas into a medium bowl.
Step 4
Add the diced tomato, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the chickpeas.
Step 5
Pour the lime juice into the bowl.
Step 6
Sprinkle 0.75 teaspoon of ground cumin over everything, along with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 7
Stir everything with a spoon until the chickpeas, vegetables, and spices are evenly mixed, about 30 seconds.
Step 8
Divide the chaat between two bowls or plates and serve immediately, or let it sit for 5 minutes so the flavors blend.
